Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)
Comerica Incorporated and Subsidiaries

Note 1 - Basis of Presentation and Accounting Policies

     The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, the statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2003, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2003. Certain items in prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Annual Report of Comerica Incorporated and Subsidiaries (the “Corporation”) on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002.

Derivative and Foreign Exchange Contracts

     The Corporation uses derivative financial instruments, including foreign exchange contracts, to manage the Corporation’s exposure to interest rate and foreign currency risks. All derivative instruments are carried at fair value as either assets or liabilities on the balance sheet. The accounting for changes in the fair value (i.e. gains or losses) of a derivative instrument is determined by whether it has been designated and qualifies as part of a hedging relationship and, further, on the type of hedging relationship. For those derivative instruments that qualify as hedging instruments, the Corporation designates the hedging instrument as either a fair value hedge, cash flow hedge or a hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation. For further information, see Note 7.

Stock-Based Compensation

     In 2002, the Corporation adopted the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (as amended by SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure”), which the Corporation is applying prospectively to all stock-based compensation awards granted to employees after December 31, 2001. Options granted prior to January 1, 2002 continue to be accounted for under the intrinsic value method, as outlined in APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.” The effect on net income and earnings per share, if the fair value method had been applied to all outstanding and unvested awards in each period, is presented in the table below.

Impairment

     Goodwill and identified intangible assets that have an indefinite useful life are subject to impairment testing, which the Corporation conducts annually, or on an interim basis if events or changes in circumstances between annual tests indicate the assets might be impaired. The Corporation performs its annual impairment test for goodwill and identified intangible assets that have an indefinite useful life as of July 1 of each year. The impairment test involves assigning tangible assets and liabilities, identified intangible assets and goodwill to reporting units, which are a subset of the Corporation’s operating segments, and comparing the fair value of each reporting unit to its carrying value. If the fair value is less than the carrying value, a further test is required to measure the amount of impairment.

     The Corporation reviews finite lived intangible assets and other long lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable from projected undiscounted net operating cash flows. If the projected undiscounted net operating cash flows are less than the carrying amount, the Corporation recognizes a loss to reduce the carrying amount to fair value. Additional information regarding the Corporation’s goodwill, intangible assets and impairment policies can be found in the Corporation’s 2002 Annual Report on page 44 and in Notes 1, 7 and 8 to the consolidated financial statements.

Standby and Commercial Letters of Credit and Financial Guarantees

     In November 2002, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 45, “Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others” (FIN 45). The Corporation adopted the recognition and measurement provisions of FIN 45 on January 1, 2003. According

to FIN 45, each guarantee meeting the characteristics described in the Interpretation is to be recognized and initially measured at fair value. The initial recognition and measurement provisions are applicable on a prospective basis to guarantees issued or modified subsequent to December 31, 2002. For further information on the Corporation’s obligations under guarantees, see Note 8.

Note 2 - Investment Securities

     At June 30, 2003, investment securities having a carrying value of $1.2 billion were pledged, primarily with the Federal Reserve Bank and state and local government agencies. Securities are pledged where permitted or required by law to secure liabilities and public and other deposits, including deposits of the State of Michigan of $95 million at June 30, 2003.

Note 3 - Allowance for Loan Losses (continued)

     SFAS No. 114, “Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan,” considers a loan impaired when it is probable that interest and principal payments will not be made in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Consistent with this definition, all nonaccrual and reduced-rate loans (with the exception of residential mortgage and consumer loans) are impaired. Impaired loans include $13 million of loans which were formerly on nonaccrual status, but were restructured and met the requirements to be restored to an accrual basis. These restructured loans are performing in accordance with their modified terms, but, in accordance with impaired loan disclosures, must continue to be disclosed as impaired for the remainder of the calendar year of the restructuring. Impaired loans averaged $607 million and $603 million for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2003, compared to $632 million and $643 million, respectively, for the comparable periods last year. The following presents information regarding the period-end balances of impaired loans:

                 
    Six Months Ended   Year Ended
(in millions)   June 30, 2003   December 31, 2002
   
 
Total period-end impaired loans
  $ 570     $ 582  
Less: Loans returned to accrual status during the period
    13       19  
 
   
     
 
Total period-end nonaccrual business loans
  $ 557     $ 563  
 
   
     
 
Impaired loans requiring an allowance
  $ 539     $ 530  
 
   
     
 
Allowance allocated to impaired loans
  $ 164     $ 197  
 
   
     
 

     Those impaired loans not requiring an allowance represent loans for which the fair value exceeded the recorded investments in such loans.

In May 2003, Comerica issued $300 million of 4.80% Subordinated Notes which are classified in medium- and long-term debt. The notes pay interest on May 1 and November 1 of each year, beginning with November 1, 2003, and mature May 1, 2015. The Corporation used $135 million of the net proceeds for the repayment of commercial paper with an interest rate of 1.28% and a maturity date of May 7, 2003, and the remaining net proceeds for general corporate purposes.

Note 5 - Income Taxes

     The provision for income taxes is computed by applying statutory federal income tax rates to income before income taxes as reported in the financial statements after deducting non-taxable items, principally income on bank-owned life insurance and interest income on state and municipal securities. State and foreign taxes are then added to the federal provision.

Note 6 - Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income

     Other comprehensive income includes the change in net unrealized gains and losses on investment securities available for sale, the change in accumulated gains and losses on cash flow hedges, the change in the accumulated foreign currency translation adjustment and the change in accumulated minimum pension liability adjustment. The Consolidated Statements of Changes in Shareholders’ Equity includes only combined, net of tax, other comprehensive income. The following presents reconciliations of the components of accumulated other comprehensive income for the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002. Total comprehensive income totaled $290 million and $389 million, for the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively, and $159 million and $258 million for the three months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

(1) Notional or contract amounts, which represent the extent of involvement in the derivatives market, are generally used to determine the contractual cash flows required in accordance with the terms of the agreement. These amounts are typically not exchanged, significantly exceed amounts subject to credit or market risk, and are not reflected in the consolidated balance sheets.

(2) Represents credit risk, which is measured as the cost to replace, at current market rates, contracts in a profitable position. Credit risk is calculated before consideration is given to bilateral collateral agreements or master netting arrangements that effectively reduce credit risk.

(3) The fair values of derivatives and foreign exchange contracts generally represent the estimated amounts the Corporation would receive or pay to terminate or otherwise settle the contracts at the balance sheet date. The fair values of all derivatives and foreign exchange contracts are reflected in the consolidated balance sheets.

Note 7 - Derivatives and Foreign Exchange Contracts (continued)

Risk Management

     Fluctuations in net interest income due to interest rate risk result from the composition of assets and liabilities and the mismatches in the timing of the repricing of these assets and liabilities. In addition, external factors such as interest rates, and the dynamics of yield curve and spread relationships can affect net interest income. The Corporation utilizes simulation analyses to project the sensitivity of the Corporation’s net interest income to changes in interest rates. Foreign exchange rate risk arises from changes in the value of certain assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies. The Corporation employs cash instruments, such as investment securities, as well as derivative financial instruments and foreign exchange contracts, to manage exposure to these and other risks, including liquidity risk.

     As an end-user, the Corporation accesses the interest rate markets to obtain derivative instruments for use principally in connection with asset and liability management activities. As part of a fair value hedging strategy, the Corporation has entered into interest rate swap agreements for interest rate risk management purposes. The interest rate swap agreements effectively modify the Corporation’s exposure to interest rate risk by converting fixed-rate deposits and debt to a floating rate. These agreements involve the receipt of fixed rate interest amounts in exchange for floating rate interest payments over the life of the agreement, without an exchange of the underlying principal amount. For instruments that support a fair value hedging strategy, no ineffectiveness was required to be recorded in the statement of income.

     As part of a cash flow hedging strategy, the Corporation has entered into predominantly 3-year interest rate swap agreements that effectively convert a portion of its existing and forecasted floating-rate loans to a fixed-rate basis,

thus reducing the impact of interest rate changes on future interest income over the next 3 years. Approximately 20 percent ($8 billion) of the Corporation’s outstanding loans were designated as the hedged items to interest rate swap agreements at June 30, 2003. During the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2003, interest rate swap agreements designated as cash flow hedges increased interest and fees on loans by $77 million and $169 million, respectively, compared to $88 million and $189 million for the comparable periods last year. Other noninterest income in the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2003 included $9 million and $3 million of ineffective cash flow hedge net losses, respectively. If interest rates, interest yield curves and notional amounts remain at their current levels, the Corporation expects to reclassify $138 million of net gains on derivative instruments from accumulated other comprehensive income to earnings during the next twelve months due to receipt of variable interest associated with the existing and forecasted floating-rate loans.

     Management believes these strategies achieve an optimal relationship between the rate maturities of assets and their funding sources which, in turn, reduces the overall exposure of net interest income to interest rate risk, although, there can be no assurance that such strategies will be successful. The Corporation also uses various other types of financial instruments to mitigate interest rate and foreign currency risks associated with specific assets or liabilities, which are reflected in the preceding table. Such instruments include interest rate caps and floors, foreign exchange forward contracts, and foreign exchange cross-currency swaps.

Note 7 - Derivatives and Foreign Exchange Contracts (continued)

     The Corporation had commitments to purchase investment securities for its trading account and available for sale portfolios totaling $1.2 billion at June 30, 2003 and $581 million at December 31, 2002 and, during the month of July 2003, committed to purchase an additional $700 million of investment securities as part of the ongoing restructuring of the investment portfolio. Commitments to sell investment securities related to the trading account totaled $22 million at June 30, 2003 and $4 million at December 31, 2002. Outstanding commitments expose the Corporation to both credit and market risk.

Customer-Initiated and Other

     The Corporation earns additional income by executing various derivative transactions, primarily foreign exchange contracts and interest rate contracts, at the request of customers. Market risk inherent in customer-initiated contracts is often mitigated by taking offsetting positions. The Corporation generally does not speculate in derivative financial instruments for the purpose of profiting in the short-term from favorable movements in market rates. Average fair values and income from customer-initiated and other foreign exchange contracts and interest rate contracts were not material for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2003 and 2002 and for the year ended December 31, 2002.

Derivative and Foreign Exchange Activity

     The following table provides a reconciliation of the beginning and ending notional amounts for interest rate derivatives and foreign exchange contracts for the six months ended June 30, 2003.

     During the second quarter of 2003, the Corporation terminated interest rate swaps with a notional amount of $900 million that were designated as cash flow hedges. Of the pretax gain that was realized on the terminated swaps, $52 million is included in other comprehensive income and will be recognized in interest income through September 2006, the period during which the related hedged loans affect earnings.

     Additional information regarding the nature, terms and associated risks of the above derivatives and foreign exchange contracts, can be found in the Corporation’s 2002 Annual Report on page 40 and in Notes 1 and 22 to the consolidated financial statements.

Note 8 - Standby and Commercial Letters of Credit and Financial Guarantees (continued)

     Standby and commercial letters of credit and financial guarantees represent conditional obligations of the Corporation which guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Standby letters of credit and financial guarantees are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing arrangements, including commercial paper, bond financing and similar transactions. These contracts expire in decreasing amounts through the year 2012. Commercial letters of credit are issued to finance foreign or domestic trade transactions and are short-term in nature. The Corporation enters into participation arrangements with third parties which effectively reduce the maximum amount of future payments which may be required under standby letters of credit. These risk participations covered $369 million of the $5,896 million of standby letters of credit outstanding at June 30, 2003. At June 30, 2003, the carrying value of the Corporation’s standby and commercial letters of credit and financial guarantees, which is included in accrued expenses and other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet, totaled $67 million.

Note 9 - Business Segment Information

     The Corporation has strategically aligned its operations into three major lines of business: the Business Bank, the Individual Bank and the Investment Bank. These lines of business are differentiated based on the products and services provided. In addition to the three major lines of business, the Finance Division is also reported as a segment. Lines of business results are produced by the Corporation’s internal management accounting system. This system measures financial results based on the internal organizational structure of the Corporation; information presented is not necessarily comparable with any other financial institution. Lines of business/segment financial results for the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002 are shown in the table below.

Note 9 - Business Segment Information (continued)

     For a description of the business activities of each line of business and the methodologies, which form the basis for these results, refer to Note 26 to the consolidated financial statements in the Corporation’s 2002 Annual Report.

Note 10 - Pending Accounting Pronouncements

     In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities” (FIN 46). FIN 46 provides principles on how to identify variable interest entities (VIEs), and requires the consolidation of VIEs in which an enterprise absorbs a majority of the entity’s expected losses, receives a majority of the entity’s expected residual returns, or both, as a result of ownership, contractual or other financial interests in the entity. Currently, entities are generally consolidated by an enterprise when it has a controlling financial interest through ownership of a majority voting interest in the entity. FIN 46 also requires additional disclosures by primary beneficiaries and other significant variable interest holders. The Corporation must apply the provisions of FIN 46 to its existing variable interests in a VIE no later than July 1, 2003. The adoption of the provisions of FIN 46 is not expected to have a material impact on the Corporation’s financial position or results of operations. However, based on the Corporation’s understanding of FIN 46, an understanding that could change as the accounting industry’s interpretation of the principles of FIN 46 continues to evolve, the following changes in accounting are expected as a result of the adoption of FIN 46:

  The Corporation expects to consolidate its investment in a private equity fund that is currently recorded on the equity method as an unconsolidated subsidiary. The fund has approximately $23 million in assets, and consolidation would result in an increase in both assets and liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet of approximately $12 million. Consolidation

    would not impact net income, but would change the line items within the income statement from noninterest income (where equity in earnings is currently recorded) to various income and expense line items in future periods.
 
  The Corporation also has two trust preferred securities subsidiaries, which are currently consolidated, that the Corporation expects will need to be deconsolidated under FIN 46. These trust preferred securities ($405 million) are classified in medium- and long-term debt on the Corporation’s consolidated balance sheets. Deconsolidation of these subsidiaries will not change the classification of this debt, but will change the description from trust preferred securities debt to subordinated debt. Banking regulators announced that, “until notice is given to the contrary,” this debt will continue to qualify as Tier 1 Capital.

     In April 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 149, “Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.” This statement amends and clarifies accounting for derivatives, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities under SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.” This statement is effective for contracts entered into or modified after and hedging relationships designated after June 30, 2003. The adoption of SFAS No. 149 is not expected to have a material impact on the Corporation’s financial position or results of operations.

     In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity.” This statement requires that substantially all financial instruments having characteristics of both liabilities and equity be classified as liabilities on

the balance sheet. SFAS No. 150 is effective for all financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and effective for all other financial instruments held by the Corporation on July 1, 2003. The adoption of SFAS No. 150 is not expected to have a material impact on the Corporation’s financial position or results of operations.

ITEM 2.   Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition

Results of Operations

     Net income for the quarter ended June 30, 2003 was $170 million, up $13 million, or nine percent, from $157 million reported for the second quarter of 2002. Quarterly diluted net income per share increased to $0.97 from $0.88 a year ago. Return on average common shareholders’ equity was 13.51 percent and return on average assets was 1.27 percent, compared to 12.83 percent and 1.24 percent, respectively, for the comparable quarter last year. The increase in earnings in the second quarter of 2003 over the comparable quarter last year resulted primarily from a lower provision for loan losses. The provision for loan losses was $59 million lower this quarter compared to the same quarter last year. Partially offsetting the increase in earnings was a decline in net interest income of $38 million and an $11 million increase in salaries and employee benefits expense. The increase in net gains (losses) on sales of securities of $38 million was largely offset by declines in other categories of noninterest income, resulting in a net $4 million increase in noninterest income.

     Net income for the first six months of 2003 was $1.97 per diluted share, or $346 million, compared to $2.08 per diluted share, or $371 million, for the comparable period last year, decreases of five percent and seven percent, respectively. Return on average common shareholders’ equity was 13.81 percent and return on average assets was 1.30 percent for the first six months of 2003, compared to 15.31 percent and 1.48 percent, respectively, for the first six months of 2002. The decline in earnings for the six months ended June 30, 2003 over the same period a year earlier was due primarily to a $67 million decrease in net interest income and a $25 million increase in salaries and employee benefits expense. Partially offsetting this decline was a $28 million decrease in the provision for loan losses and an increase of $16 million in noninterest income, where an increase in net gains (losses) on sales of securities of $52

million was partially offset by declines in other categories of noninterest income.

Net Interest Income

     The rate-volume analysis in Table I details the components of the change in net interest income on a fully taxable equivalent (FTE) basis for the quarter ended June 30, 2003. On a FTE basis, net interest income decreased $38 million to $494 million for the three months ended June 30, 2003, from $532 million for the comparable quarter in 2002. Average earning assets increased six percent when compared to the second quarter of last year, while the net interest margin decreased to 3.98 percent for the three months ended June 30, 2003, from 4.56 percent for the comparable three months of 2002. The margin decline was the result of the ongoing restructuring of the investment portfolio, designed to achieve more consistent cash flows, the impact of interest rate swap maturities, an increase in short-term liquidity, and a competitive deposit rate environment during a period of sustained low interest rates.

     Table II provides an analysis of net interest income for the first six months of 2003. On a FTE basis, net interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2003 was $1,006 million compared to $1,073 million for the same period in 2002. Average earning assets increased six percent in the six months ended June 30, 2003 when compared to the same period in the prior year. The net interest margin for the six months ended June 30, 2003 decreased to 4.13 percent from 4.66 percent for the same period in 2002. The margin decline was due to the same reasons cited in the quarterly discussion above.

Provision for Loan Losses

     The provision for loan losses was $111 million for the second quarter of 2003, compared to $170 million for the same period in 2002. The provision for the first six months of 2003 was $217 million compared to $245 million for the same period in 2002. The Corporation establishes this provision to maintain an adequate allowance for loan losses, which is discussed in the section entitled “Allowance for Loan Losses and Nonperforming Assets.” The decrease in the provision for loan losses in both the three and six months ended June 30, 2003 over the comparable periods last year resulted primarily from a second quarter 2002 provision of $45 million made by the Corporation to increase reserves related to exposure to Argentina. Current provision levels reflect the impact of the continued uncertainty of the economy on the Corporation’s customers, as evidenced by an increased level of charge-offs. Business bankruptcy rates both nationally and in the Michigan market, where the Corporation has a geographic concentration of credit, continue at elevated levels. Michigan Purchasing Management Indices have been relatively neutral, suggesting a slow recovery for the manufacturing and auto supplier sectors of the regional economy, where the Corporation has an industry concentration of credit.

Noninterest Income

     Noninterest income was $226 million for the three months ended June 30, 2003, an increase of $4 million, or two percent, over the same period in 2002. Included in second quarter 2003 noninterest income was $29 million in securities gains and $9 million of cash flow hedge ineffectiveness losses. The cash flow hedge ineffectiveness losses experienced in the second quarter of 2003 reverse cash flow hedge ineffectiveness gains recognized in the first quarter of 2003 and to a lesser extent in prior quarters. There are no previously recognized cash flow hedge ineffectiveness gains subject to reversal at June 30, 2003. Included in second quarter 2002 noninterest income was a $10 million loss related to the

Table of Contents

write-down of Argentine securities and $9 million of non-taxable proceeds from bank-owned life insurance policies resulting from the death of an executive. Certain of the Corporation’s noninterest income, primarily fiduciary income and investment advisory revenue, is at risk to fluctuations in the market values of underlying assets, particularly equity securities. Other income, primarily brokerage service fees, is at risk to changes in the level of market activity. Noninterest income related to these market-related revenue sources decreased $6 million in the second quarter of 2003 compared to the second quarter of 2002. Commercial lending fees decreased $6 million in the second quarter of 2003 compared to the comparable quarter last year, as the continued uncertainty in the economy impacted these activity/transaction-based fees.

     For the first six months of 2003, noninterest income was $446 million, an increase of $16 million, or four percent, from the first six months of 2002. Noninterest income in the first six months of 2003 included $42 million in gains on securities sales, $3 million of cash flow hedge ineffectiveness losses and a $7 million net write-down of venture capital and private equity securities. The uncertain economy and weak equity markets continue to negatively affect the values of venture and private equity investments and investment funds. When these declines are deemed to be other than temporary, a write-down is recorded. The uncertainty in the economy and equity markets will continue to affect the values of the companies that access these funds. Noninterest income in the first six months of 2002 included the Argentine securities write-down and the bank-owned life insurance proceeds included in the quarterly discussion above. Noninterest income from market-related revenue sources decreased $14 million in the six months ended June 30, 2003 compared to the same period last year, for the reasons cited in the quarterly discussion above.

Noninterest Expenses

     Noninterest expenses were $360 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2003, an increase of $8 million, or two percent, from the comparable quarter in 2002. The increase in noninterest expenses was due primarily to an $11 million increase in salaries and employee benefits expense that resulted, in large part, from merit increases and higher pension expense.

     Noninterest expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2003 were $727 million, an increase of $28 million, or four percent, from the comparable period of 2002. A $25 million increase in salaries and employee benefits expense was the primary reason for the increase in noninterest expenses over the prior year. The salaries and employee benefits expense increase in the first six months of 2003, when compared to the same period last year, results from $5 million of additional expense recorded as a result of the Corporation’s 2002 adoption of the fair value method of accounting for stock options and the reasons cited in the quarterly discussion above.

Provision for Income Taxes

     The provision for income taxes for the second quarter of 2003 totaled $78 million, compared to $74 million reported for the same period a year ago. The effective tax rate was 31 percent for the second quarter of 2003 compared to 32 percent for the same quarter of 2002. The provision for the first six months of 2003 was $160 million compared to $186 million for the same period of 2002. The effective tax rate was 32 percent for the first six months of 2003 compared to 33 percent for the first six months of 2002.

Financial Condition

     Total assets were $58.7 billion at June 30, 2003, compared with $53.3 billion at year-end 2002 and $50.6 billion at June 30, 2002. The Corporation has experienced less than a one percent increase in total loans since December 31,

-35-


Table of Contents

2002. The nominal increase in total loans reflects growth in some of the Corporation’s loan portfolios, offset by declines in others. The Corporation experienced growth, on an average basis, in the National Dealer Services (17 percent), Private Banking (7 percent), Middle Market (6 percent) and Small Business (3 percent) loan portfolios, from the fourth quarter 2002 to the second quarter 2003. Average loans in the Large Corporate (23 percent) and Global Finance (3 percent) portfolios declined, over the same periods as a result of maturing non-relationship loans that were not renewed. Slow growth in total loans, coupled with a significant increase in deposits, has resulted in a $1.7 billion increase in short-term investments since year-end 2002. In addition, cash and due from banks increased $2.7 billion from December 31, 2002 to June 30, 2003, as a result of a large inflow of short term deposits late in the second quarter 2003. Reinvestment of proceeds from year-end 2002 investment securities sales has resulted in an increase of $2.1 billion in investment securities available for sale from the December 31, 2002 level.

     Total liabilities increased $5.3 billion, or 11 percent, from $48.4 billion at December 31, 2002, to $53.6 billion at June 30, 2003. Total deposits increased 13 percent to $47.1 billion at June 30, 2003, from $41.8 billion at year-end 2002 due to growth in both interest-bearing and noninterest-bearing deposit balances. Deposits in the Financial Services Group increased to $13.0 billion at June 30, 2003 from $9.4 billion at December 31, 2002, primarily due to strong mortgage business activity and new customers. These title and escrow deposits are not expected to be long-lived, and therefore were invested on a short-term basis. Medium- and long-term debt increased $184 million since December 31, 2002, to $5.4 billion at June 30, 2003, as a result of the issuance of $300 million of subordinated notes in the second quarter of 2003.

Allowance for Loan Losses and Nonperforming Assets

     The allowance for loan losses represents management’s assessment of probable losses inherent in the Corporation’s loan portfolio. The allowance provides for probable losses that have been identified with specific customer relationships and for probable losses believed to be inherent, but that have not been specifically identified. Internal risk ratings are assigned to each business loan at the time of approval and are subject to subsequent periodic reviews by the senior management of the Corporation’s Credit Policy Group. The Corporation performs a detailed credit quality review quarterly on large business loans that have deteriorated below certain levels of credit risk, and allocates a specific portion of the allowance to such loans based upon this review. The Corporation defines business loans as those belonging to the commercial, real estate construction, commercial mortgage, lease financing and international loan portfolios. A portion of the allowance is allocated to the remaining business loans by applying projected loss ratios, based on numerous factors identified below, to the loans within each risk rating. In addition, a portion of the allowance is allocated to these remaining loans based on industry specific and geographic risks inherent in certain portfolios, including portfolio exposures to automotive suppliers, the developing high technology and entertainment industries, regional economic risks and Latin American transfer risks. The portion of the allowance allocated to consumer loans is determined by applying projected loss ratios to various segments of the loan portfolio. Projected loss ratios incorporate factors such as recent charge-off experience, current economic conditions and trends, and trends with respect to past due and nonaccrual amounts. The allocated portion of the allowance was $762 million at June 30, 2003, an increase of $9 million from year-end 2002. The nominal (less than two percent) increase in the allocated allowance was attributable to business loans not individually evaluated for impairment at June 30, 2003.

     Actual loss ratios experienced in the future will likely vary from those

Table of Contents

projected. This uncertainty occurs because factors affecting the determination of probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio may exist which are not necessarily captured by the application of projected loss ratios or identified industry specific and geographic risks. An unallocated portion of the allowance is maintained to capture these probable losses. The unallocated allowance reflects management’s view that the allowance should recognize the margin for error inherent in the process of estimating expected loan losses. Determination of the probable losses inherent in the portfolio involves the exercise of judgement. Factors that were considered in the evaluation of the adequacy of the Corporation’s unallocated allowance include the imprecision in the risk rating system and the risk associated with new customer relationships.

     Management also considers industry norms and the expectations of rating agencies and banking regulators in determining the adequacy of the allowance. The total allowance, including the unallocated amount, is available to absorb losses from any segment of the portfolio. Unanticipated economic events, including political, economic and regulatory stability in countries where the Corporation has a concentration of loans, could cause changes in the credit characteristics of the portfolio and result in an unanticipated increase in the allocated allowance. Inclusion of other industry specific and geographic portfolio exposures in the allocated allowance, as well as significant increases in the current portfolio exposures, could also increase the amount of the allocated allowance. Any of these events, or some combination, may result in the need for additional provision for loan losses in order to maintain an adequate allowance.

     At June 30, 2003, the allowance for loan losses was $802 million, an increase of $11 million from December 31, 2002. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total period-end loans increased to 1.89 percent at June 30, 2003, from 1.87 percent at December 31, 2002. This increased allowance coverage of loans resulted primarily from the impact of the continued uncertainty in the economy on the Corporation’s customers as reflected in the $9 million increase in the allocated allowance. The Corporation also had an allowance for credit losses on lending-related commitments of $33 million and $35 million, at June 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002, respectively, which is recorded in “accrued expenses and other liabilities” on the consolidated balance sheets. These lending-related commitments include unfunded loan commitments and letters of credit.

     Nonperforming assets at June 30, 2003 were $581 million, as compared to $579 million at December 31, 2002, an increase of $2 million, or less than one percent. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of nonperforming assets increased to 138 percent at June 30, 2003, from 136 percent at December 31, 2002.

*   Based on an analysis of nonaccrual loans with book balances greater than $2 million.

     There was only one loan greater than $10 million transferred to nonaccrual during the quarter. This was a $20 million loan to a customer in the transportation sector, which was transferred to nonaccrual and subsequently sold in the second quarter of 2003.

     Shared National Credit Program (SNC) loans comprised approximately 20 percent of total nonperforming assets at June 30, 2003 and 25 percent at December 31, 2002. SNC loans are facilities greater than $20 million shared by three or more financial institutions and reviewed by regulatory authorities at the lead bank or agent bank level. These loans comprised approximately 17 percent and 18 percent of total loans at June 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002, respectively. Of the $148 million of loans greater than $2 million transferred to nonaccrual status in the second quarter of 2003, $40 million were SNC loans. SNC loans comprised approximately $33 million of second quarter 2003 net charge-offs.

     Net charge-offs for the second quarter of 2003 were $110 million, or 1.02 percent of average total loans, compared with $81 million, or 0.78 percent, for the second quarter of 2002. Charge-offs on nonperforming assets during the six months ended June 30, 2003 reduced the carrying value of nonaccrual loans as a percentage of contractual value to 58 percent at June 30, 2003, from 60 percent at December 31, 2002. The provision for loan losses was $111 million for the second quarter of 2003, compared to $170 million for the same period in 2002.

     Due to the current challenging business environment, particularly in the manufacturing sector, management expects credit quality improvement will be tied to a business recovery.

Capital

     Common shareholders’ equity was $5.1 billion at June 30, 2003, up $139 million from December 31, 2002. This increase was due primarily to the retention of $172 million of current year earnings, and the recognition of stock-based compensation and the effect of employee stock plan activity, which increased common shareholders’ equity by $14 million and $9 million, respectively, offset by a $56 million decrease in other comprehensive income resulting primarily from a change in the accumulated net gain on cash flow hedges. The Corporation’s capital ratios exceed minimum regulatory requirements as follows:

                 
    June 30,   December 31,
    2003   2002
   
 
Tier 1 common capital ratio
    7.61 %     7.39 %
Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio (4.00% - minimum)
    8.26       8.05  
Total risk-based capital ratio (8.00% - minimum)
    12.30       11.72  
Leverage ratio (3.00% - minimum)
    9.38       9.29  

     At June 30, 2003, the Corporation and its banking subsidiaries exceeded the ratios required to be considered “well capitalized” (total capital greater than 10 percent). On June 30, 2003, the Corporation merged its California and Texas banking subsidiaries into its Michigan banking subsidiary.

Critical Accounting Policies

     The Corporation’s consolidated financial statements are prepared based on the application of accounting policies, the most significant of which are described in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements included in the Corporation’s 2002 Annual Report, as updated in Note 1 to the unaudited consolidated financial statements in this report. These policies require numerous estimates and strategic or economic assumptions which may prove inaccurate or subject to variations. Changes in underlying factors, assumptions or estimates could have a material impact on the Corporation’s future financial condition and results of operations. The most critical of these significant accounting policies are the policies for allowance for loan losses, pension plan accounting and goodwill. These policies are reviewed with the Audit and Legal Committee of the Corporation’s Board of Directors and are discussed more fully on pages 42-45 of the Corporation’s 2002 Annual Report. As of the date of this report, the Corporation does not believe that there has been a material change in the nature or categories of its critical accounting policies or its estimates and assumptions from those discussed in its 2002 Annual Report, except for the estimated decline in the amount required to trigger goodwill impairment of the Corporation’s asset management reporting unit (Munder). At June 30, 2003, management estimated that a decline in the fair value of the asset management reporting unit of $24 million would trigger goodwill impairment, compared to $50 million estimated at December 31, 2002.

ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

     Net interest income is the predominant source of revenue for the Corporation. Interest rate risk arises primarily through the Corporation’s core business activities of extending loans and accepting deposits. The Corporation actively manages its material exposure to interest rate risk. Management attempts to evaluate the effect of movements in interest rates on net interest income and uses interest rate swaps and other instruments to manage its interest rate risk exposure. The primary tool used by the Corporation in determining its exposure to interest rate risk is net interest income simulation analysis. The net interest income simulation analysis performed at the end of each quarter reflects changes to both interest rates and loan, investment and deposit volumes. The measurement of risk exposure at June 30, 2003 for a decline in short-term interest rates to zero percent identified approximately $44 million, or two percent, of forecasted net interest income at risk over the next 12 months. If short-term interest rates rise 200 basis points, forecasted net interest income would be enhanced by approximately $122 million, or six percent. Corresponding measures of risk exposure at December 31, 2002 were approximately $91 million of net interest income at risk for a decline in rates to zero percent and an approximately $104 million enhancement of net interest income for a 200 basis point rise in rates.

     Secondarily, the Corporation utilizes an economic value of equity analysis and a traditional interest sensitivity gap measure as alternative measures of interest rate risk exposure. At June 30, 2003, all three measures of interest rate risk were within established corporate policy guidelines.

     At June 30, 2003, the Corporation had a $122 million portfolio of indirect (through funds) private equity and venture capital investments, and had commitments of $70 million to fund additional investments in future periods. These investments are at risk to changes in equity markets, general economic conditions and many other factors. The majority of these investments are not

-44-

marketable, and are included in other assets. The investments are individually reviewed for impairment on a quarterly basis, by comparing the carrying value to the estimated fair value. The Corporation bases estimates of fair value for the majority of its indirect private equity and venture capital investments on the percentage ownership in the fair value of the entire fund, as reported by the fund management. In general, the Corporation does not have the benefit of the same information regarding the fund’s underlying investments as does fund management. Therefore, after verification that fund management adheres to accepted, sound and recognized valuation techniques, the Corporation generally utilizes the fair values assigned to the underlying portfolio investments by fund management. For those funds where fair value is not reported by fund management, the Corporation derives the fair value of the fund by estimating the fair value of each underlying investment in the fund. In addition to using qualitative information about each underlying investment, as provided by the fund management, the Corporation gives consideration to information pertinent to the specific nature of the debt or equity investment, such as relevant market conditions, offering prices, operating results, financial conditions, exit strategy, and other qualitative information, public or otherwise, as available.

     For further discussion of interest rate risk and other market risks, see Note 7 and pages 38-42 of the Corporation’s 2002 Annual Report.

ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures

a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. The Corporation’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have evaluated the effectiveness of the Corporation’s disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-14(c) and 15d-14(c) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report (the “Evaluation Date”). Based on the evaluation, such officers have concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, the Corporation’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

(b)  Changes in Internal Controls. During the period to which this report relates, there have not been significant deficiencies and/or material weaknesses in the design or operation of internal control over financial reporting which are reasonably likely to materially affect the registrant’s ability to record, process, summarize and report financial information. There have not been any significant changes in the Corporation’s internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect such controls.

     In addition to factors mentioned elsewhere in this report or previously disclosed in the Corporation’s SEC reports (accessible on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov or on the Corporation’s website at www.comerica.com), the following factors, among others, could cause actual results to differ materially from forward-looking statements and future results could differ materially from historical performance:

  general political, economic or industry conditions, either domestically or internationally, may be less favorable than expected;
 
  the mix of interest rates and maturities of the Corporation’s interest earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities (primarily loans and

-47-

  the introductions, withdrawal, success and timing of business initiatives and strategies;
 
  competitive product and pricing pressures among financial institutions within the Corporation’s markets may increase;
 
  legislative or regulatory developments, including changes in laws or regulations concerning taxes, banking, securities, capital requirements and risk-based capital guidelines, reserve methodologies, deposit insurance and other aspects of the financial services industry, may adversely affect the business in which the Corporation is engaged or the Corporation’s financial results;
 
  legal and regulatory proceedings and related matters with respect to the financial services industry, including those directly involving the Corporation and its subsidiaries, could adversely affect the Corporation or the financial services industry generally;
 
  pending and proposed changes in accounting rules, policies, practices and procedures could adversely affect the Corporation’s financial results;
 
  instruments and strategies used to hedge or otherwise manage exposure to various types of market and credit risk could be less effective than anticipated, and the Corporation may not be able to effectively mitigate its risk exposures in particular market environments or against particular types of risk;
 
  terrorist activities or other hostilities, which may adversely affect the general economy, financial and capital markets, specific industries, and the Corporation; and
 
  technological changes, including the impact of the internet on the Corporation’s businesses, may be more difficult or expensive than anticipated.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. Legal Proceedings.

     The Corporation and certain of its subsidiaries are subject to various pending or threatened legal proceedings, including certain purported class actions, arising out of the normal course of business or operations.
